The reason I do this work is a lot more personal than most people know.

For as long as I can remember, my relationship with food and my body has been complicated.

At times it’s broken me at times it’s saved me.

People have told me I’m too fat. Too thin. Too sensitive. Too bossy. Too needy. Too tall. Not smart enough.

And for a long time… I believed them.

I shrunk myself so small, I couldn’t remember who I was anymore.

All little Margo ever wanted was to wear cute clothes, eat cake and be seen, loved and accepted as she was.

I couldn’t understand that my relationship to food & my body was deeply tied to fear of rejection, my neurodivergence and a strong need for safety.

I used to think that I was the problem.

Then I was identified AuDHD and everything changed.

I started to see myself differently not as broken, but as someone worthy of love and acceptance, with a voice and a story that mattered.

A lightbulb went off in me

I realised I had to stop making myself small and share my story, not just for me, but for anyone who’s spent their life pleasing others to fit in.

And this allowed me to heal my relationship with food & my body

I launched Whole Body Nutrition

And I started supporting other Neurodivergent people navigating challenging relationships with food and their bodies.

This work is my why, my purpose, and my passion.

I keep learning, unlearning, growing, and healing, so others can too.

So yeah, this work is deeply personal to me.

Big Love,
Margo
